Yes, that was fun! I didn't quite have the race pace as @sc4dr and @PurgerUK, but the 1-stop educated gamble worked out - the first stint made it just past 1 hr with ~4 litres remaining.

We should do this again...Some ideas mentioned in post-race chat were Spa, Daytona, and Ningbo.

Well we were both running with lighter fuel loads and fresher rubber so I think you would have had it regardless, you were certainly pacing me in my first stint - could have been quite close if we had all been on the same strategy.
I did do some testing and managed a 40-45 minute run before the race and my front left was flashing orange after that so went with the two stops but in the race the tire ware didn't seem as bad though may have been pushing more in the test. As I started with a 75 litre fuel load I was locked in to my decision - possibly if I had gone with a full load I might have just stayed out.

I probably wont do endurances again for a while, im not quick enough yet and so the race was fairly boring for me personally, 2 hours of driving pretty much on my own with no chance of catching anyone. Im glad I did it , but not for me right now. The extra length accentuates the skill gap differences and with a small field the pitstops just broke everything up too much imo. I totally get why some love this kind of 'race' , i prefer things a bit edge of the seat right now

Great=“I was dead in the end” race. Special congrats to Anic, Dan, Kenwood. And congrats to everyone who reached the finish line.
It is to much to write about whole race, so I will give best and worst moments for me.

Best: after Kieth let me by, my engineer giving me “sweet pass” message
Worst: at start, I was late on throttle. Then in turn 1, @stevem looked like coming to complete stop so I stopped behind him, and his car disappeared. Luckily he teleported at the end of turn 1. Then after few laps I got to move on him into the hairpin, on my screen I moved to the inside and so him outside. Then on braking he wasn’t there and when I tried to turn in his car appeared on my right (still in braking zone). Have to check replay, I hope I didn’t mess up anyone’s race.
Funny: after lapping Kieth on start straight, I half spun in 3-4th corner. Few laps later came back behind Kieth, only to see him halfspinning in turn 4. Good we survived.

didn't know i was lagging that bad. explains why kornblum cut in front of me. I like the idea of 2 hour events but you should have to pit more than once.

Hi Daniel, we’re glad to have new faces!(even tho I run mostly US club races). We all started where you did, and if you are determined, and motivated you too will be fighting for podiums. You sure did pick a humdinger of a first race though

In please with the #69

 

[Port1s]

Yes yes yes! #5 for me please.

I adore this livery. I might have to race in chase-cam.

Nothing screams "Get out of the way, Andy!" quite like cream and baby blue.

That was fun, maybe the longest race I ever run. Definately the longest in the last 5 or so years.
Couldn't decide between the Apollo and the Ford, kept going back and forth between the 2. After I had a tyre blowout with the Ford after ~40 mins, I decided to do a 1h test stint with the Apollo. It survived and so the car and the strategy was decided.
I echo what other said here, it was a very enjoyable race, but I mainly was on my own. Lost a position after 15 minutes or so, gained a few after 40 when the first ppl started pitting. Was in the lead for like 10 meters or 15 seconds when @rustymoto and I pitted on the same lap
Left the pits in 5th, gained positions when ppl did their second pitstop and got passed again when they caught up with fresher tyres (I blame the tyres, not the lack of pace on my end )
Main goal was to keep the car on the black stuff which went surprisingly well, had one oversteer moment coming out of the last corner and outbraked myself going into the left-hander after the Schumacher-S.

 

[Antmerino]

Great, I prefer this car over the wtcr, my choice is # 408 because numbers 8 and 9 have been taken. Everyone knows that yellow cars are the fastest.

Thanks @Goffik
